Don’t Starve Shipwrecked

Don't Starve ShipwreckedI’m trying to get used to some new video editing software, so I thought I’d have fun and try out the new Don’t Starve Shipwrecked app for iPad. This is the first time I have played it so expect me to make a ton of mistakes. While it is an extremely hard game it is still a ton of fun to play. For $4.99 on the App Store it is a steal!

Actually I played the original Don’t Starve in a video forever ago if you’d like to see that as well. Continue reading Don’t Starve Shipwrecked

Android Contest Winner

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 GiveawayAfter much deliberation I’d like to announce the winner of my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart watch as StickyRice Productions for their New Think Tank app. It is available here for free. It has all of the videos I have made available in one Android app.

I decided that this would be the winner because the app works perfectly without any errors that I could find. It has been updated over the past few months which showed me that the developer made it for reasons aside from entering the contest. It is just a useful app for anyone that likes my tutorials any way πŸ™‚

I want to thank everyone that has participated in all of these contests and I want to thank Samsung especially!!! It was very nice of Samsung to provide these 6 Samsung Galaxy Note 3s along with the 6 Galaxy Gear Smart watches. They are amazing products and Samsung was awesome to work with.

I also think it is important to point out the second place winner being Just Weather.Β Abhishek Balani did a great job on that app and you should definitely check it out. I wish I could send him a phone as well, but sadly I’m all out.

Thank you everyone πŸ™‚
